Does anyone know how to get the exact percentage of the overall trend rate
when you trend data via Excel?

If you want to know what percentage B1 is of A1, use the formula =B1/A1 and
format as percentage.
If you are wanting to calculate a different percentage, modify the formula
accordingly.

I have a chart in which I right click on the data set and select add
trendline. What I need to know is how can I determine the % of the
increase/decrease/slope of the line? I would like to tell my colleagues that
their volumes are trending upware by x% each month -- how do I do this?
